SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telenav®, Inc. (Nasdaq:TNAV), the leader in personalized navigation, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 ended March 31, 2013.

"We achieved solid financial results in the third quarter, driven primarily by strength in our automotive business, which accounted for 46 percent of total revenue in the period," said HP Jin, chairman, president and CEO of Telenav. "In addition, this month we completed the sale of our Enterprise business, which enables us to focus more resources on the targeted revenue growth opportunities in our automotive, mobile advertising, and premium LBS."

We have classified the results of operations of our Enterprise business as discontinued operations in our income statement for all periods presented.

Revenue from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $55.0 million, which excluded approximately $2.8 million in revenue from the discontinued operations of our Enterprise business. This compared with $47.2 million of revenue from continuing operations in the prior sequential quarter and $54.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Revenue from continuing operations stemming from strategic growth areas and international revenue was $32.1 million, which compared with $21.9 million in the prior sequential quarter and $14.9 million in the same quarter one year ago.

Automotive revenue was $25.3 million, or 46 percent of total revenue from continuing operations, for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

GAAP net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, which compared with GAAP net income from continuing operations of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and GAAP net income from continuing operations of $7.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
